Welcome to the post-truth world. You know it's not real. But you accept it as normal. But there is more out there. HyperNormalisation. « We live in a time of great uncertainty and confusion. Events keep happening that seem inexplicable and out of control. Donald Trump, Brexit, the War in Syria, the endless migrant crisis, random bomb attacks. And those who are supposed to be in power are paralysed - they have no idea what to do. This film is the epic story of how we got to this strange place....

This film explores the concept and definition of freedom, specifically how a simplistic model of human beings as self-seeking, almost robotic, creatures led to today's idea of freedom.

Synopsis: The second episode reiterates many of the ideas of the first, but develops the theme that the drugs such as Prozac and lists of psychological symptoms which might indicate anxiety or depression were being used to normalize behavior and make humans behave more predictably, like machines. This was not presented as a conspiracy theory, but as a logical (although unpredicted) outcome of market-driven self-diagnosis by checklist, discussed in the previous program. The program shows that...

Synopsis: In this episode, Curtis examines the rise of game theory used during the Cold War and the way in which its mathematical models of human behavior filtered into economic thought. The program traces the development of game theory with particular reference to the work of John Nash (famous from "Beautiful Mind"), who believed that all humans were inherently suspicious and selfish creatures that strategized constantly. Using this as his first premise, Nash constructed logically...

Synopsis: The final program of Curtis' 2007 series focuses on the concepts of positive and negative liberty introduced in the 1950s by Isaiah Berlin. Curtis briefly explains how negative liberty could be defined as freedom from coercion and positive liberty as the opportunity to strive to fulfill one's potential. Tony Blair read Berlin's essays on the topic and wrote to him in the late 1990s, arguing that positive and negative liberty could be mutually compatible. He never received a reply, as...

The Loving Trap is a short film by Ben Woodhams about famed BBC documentary film producer Adam Curtis. Ben makes the case that Curtis' films are made in a way that the audience is always wow'ed by style over substance, and they end up detracting from his message which he says usually amounts to a "drunken late night Wikipedia page". Ouch! Ben Woodhams: "In a landmark new documentary produced for YouTube, Adam Curtis has not examined his career and laid bare his style in the light...
